Chapter Sixty: Milk Emerging from the Sword
Chapter 60
A childlike voice, like a song, rang out in the night; the voice undoubtedly belonged to a young girl.
Rin Tohsaka and Artoria's gazes were instantly drawn to the direction from which the sound was coming from.
The clouds had dispersed sometime during the night, and a bright, shining moon hung in the sky.
What's there is—
Its tall, imposing figure resembled that of a demon from a picture book.
In the dim, bluish city at night, there lingered something eerie and unacceptable.
"Berserker?"
"Rin, did you call me?"
Pendragon's response only earned him a glare from the client. He's clearly Saber, and after pretending to be Assassin, he now wants to pretend to be Berserker?
Looking at the figure on the slope that could absolutely be called a monster, this was the Berserker art style that Rin Tohsaka had imagined.
Compared to her, Saber's slender waist was barely as thick as one of her arms. Where did she get the confidence to think she could impersonate her?
"Good evening, sister. This is our second time meeting, isn't it?"
The girl said with a smile.
Her innocence was chilling.
The girl's figure and the monster behind her were so mismatched, it was as if the art style of a shoujo manga and a grotesque manga had been mixed together, creating a nightmarish horror manga style.
"—"
No, it's not as simple as just being creepy.
Not only the body, but even consciousness was completely frozen.
That's a demon.
They didn't even make eye contact; they were just standing there.
It makes people unable to move—
Artoria's initial enthusiasm was instantly extinguished, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head.
This guy is simply beyond the comprehension of that Lancer guy; the difference is too great...
"Wow, that's incredible! Just looking at his abilities alone, almost everything about him is maxed out!"
This is practically the Servant's limit! Except for Luck, all attributes are maxed out. How on earth can that guy's master afford this amount of mana consumption?
The moment Rin saw this monster, her belief that "Saber is the strongest" began to waver.
Behind her, Artoria could sense Rin's shared despair and her unwavering determination to never give up.
"Saber, looks like I can only have a midnight snack after defeating this guy."
It's not that Rin Tohsaka wants to lower the morale of her side at this time, but rather that if she says this, the Servant will receive a buff that is no less powerful than that that can be granted by a Command Seal!
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
Pendragon sighed, stepped forward, and stood in front of Rin Tohsaka and Artoria.
A light laugh came from the girl's side. She politely lifted her skirt and performed a gesture that seemed quite out of place.
"Is the discussion over? Then, may we begin?"
"Nice to meet you, Rin. I am Ilya. Ilya Suffir von Einzbern. You should know about Einzbern, right?"
The girl, Ilya, winked playfully at her with her right eye.
"Einzbern..."
Rin Tohsaka's expression seemed to freeze, and her body swayed slightly.
Ilya smiled happily, as if she was satisfied with Rin's reaction.
"I really don't want to encounter that kind of monster without any preparation."
Rin Tohsaka muttered something under her breath, then turned to Artoria beside her and said, "Pendragon, it's your freedom to run or fight. ...However, I advise you to try your best to escape. You're not even here to help anyone, let alone be a burden, since your Servants are nowhere to be found."
This is an opponent that is simply invincible; he alone is probably enough to contend with the other six Servants.
If Rin Tohsaka hadn't had some confidence and expectation in her mysterious Servant Saber, she would definitely be planning her escape route by now.
"—Then I'll kill them. Take them down, Berserker."
The girl seemed to be singing as she commanded the monster behind her.
Just moments ago it was like a statue cast in steel, but in an instant it was brought to life!
It took only half a second for it to go from being completely still to disappearing. The spot where it had just stood collapsed, creating a large, cracked pit.
The dust and shockwave were delayed for a full second before spreading out like an explosive, forcing Rin Tohsaka and Artoria to shield their eyes with their arms and squint to barely maintain their vision.
"above!"
Artoria's beautiful eyes narrowed suddenly, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The monster named Berserker leaped from the top of the slope, covering a distance of dozens of meters, and crashed down in one breath!
Pendragon raised his left hand, striking Darth Maul's classic pose.
"Dementia is an illness, and you need treatment."
Under the moonlight.
The dazzling arc of electricity emanating from Pendragon's left hand, like a raging python, slammed towards the massive body falling from the sky!
The voltage of hundreds of millions of volts directly breaks down the air, releasing high temperatures while also having a knock-back effect.
With nowhere to grab onto in mid-air, the Berserker, relying solely on its own weight, was clearly unable to resist this force, just like a plane shot down by a missile, crashing into the grassy area beside the slope!
"Boom!"
Artoria felt as if she had experienced a mild earthquake; when the monster crashed down, it seemed as if the earth itself shook!
Dust, dust everywhere, greatly obstructed Rin Tohsaka's vision.
Before she could even be surprised that Saber could generate electricity, she quickly ran into the grass and peered into the dusty area from afar, eagerly anticipating Saber's attack.
The massive electric current was equivalent to a C-rank Noble Phantasm attack, and the dusty scene gave her a bad feeling.
However, being hit head-on by an attack of this magnitude would at least result in a second-degree disability, even if not serious injury; it certainly served as a warning.
Rin Tohsaka could only console herself with this thought. Her beautiful blue-green eyes nervously scanned the area, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead without her noticing.
"Ok?"
Pendragon, who had just pulled out the Evil Holy Sword, glanced at his weapon and wondered why it felt like there was milk oozing from the hilt of the sword.
"No way! It didn't work?"
Its body, cast in red copper, remained completely unchanged. There was no sign of smoke or blood; this monster, seemingly composed of steel muscles, didn't even have a scratch on its skin! Its hairstyle was also flowing like seaweed in the wind!

Chapter 61
Not a single hair was damaged!
"Pendragon!"
Teleport?
Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but gasp in shock, because the enormous monster that had been dozens of meters away in the pit had suddenly appeared right in front of them!
No, it's because this monster is too fast!
Dust rose from the blasted ground, and the powerful wind pressure made it almost impossible for her to keep her eyes open!
With such a massive body capable of unleashing this level of speed, this Berserker is, in every respect, an absolute monster.
Before Rinne Artoria's expression could turn to fear, it gradually changed as the Berserker's massive weapon slowly descended.
In Pendragon's eyes, the attack was like a slow-motion scene in an anime; Rin and the others couldn't react in time, but Pendragon could see it clearly.
Even the sequence of the muscles bulging and exerting force, which looked like they were cast in metal, could be observed clearly.
It seems that the Servant's abilities alone are enough to handle this situation...
While it can't overwhelm opponents like it can with the power of the Gems, it can still go toe-to-toe.
We're all Berserkers, so why can't we calmly deliver a fatal blow to the opponent?
Winning by cheating is shameful!
"when!"
The swords clashed, producing a clear, resonant sound.
In Rin Tohsaka's eyes, Saber was still very reliable. She appeared before Berserker with a whirlwind beneath her feet, using her dark red sword to block the monster's heavy blow.
The enormous weapon held by Berserker was less of a sword and more of a rough, long stone, roughly shaped like a sword.
The wind pressure seemed to be crushing the air, and this blow, like a battering ram, was blocked by Saber!
For a fleeting moment, my vision was completely enveloped by an intense light, which vanished like a flash of lightning. It was a sight formed by the collision, compression, and evaporation of magic against magic.
The two Servants wielded the magic imbued in their weapons with the ferocity of cannonballs, and after a brief moment of calm—
The compressed air transformed into a fierce wind pressure that spread in all directions. The two girls' light bodies were naturally lifted off the ground by the raging wind and blown backwards for several meters!
The ground beneath Pendragon and Berserker could not withstand the force of the burst of energy, and it shattered and flew off inch by inch, forming two deep craters.
Artoria and Rin Tohsaka were both trained in martial arts, so they were able to get up quickly after falling to the ground. In the gradually dissipating dust, they stared intently at the two Servants who were locked in a stalemate.
Like Berserker, Saber wields her sword with one hand, although her arm trembles under Berserker's pressure, gradually pushing it towards her.
But knowing that she was at a disadvantage, she still chose to fight Berserker head-on, not because she was all brawn and no brain.
On the contrary, this is her routine.
Pendragon slightly lifted his wrist, causing the blade of the Evil Holy Sword to tilt accordingly, guiding the force of the Berserker's pressure towards the ground!
"Zizi-"
The friction between the weapons drew out a trail of blinding sparks, and Pendragon pushed forward with his previously empty left hand.
Although the blow seemed impossible to hit the enormous Berserker due to his height and arm length, the air propelled by Pendragon's hand rippled and distorted with unusual force.
The Mind's Eye (pseudonym) sensed danger in an instant, and Berserker, who was about to launch an attack, immediately switched to defense, placing the huge stone bar in front of his and Pendragon's hands.
The axe-sword, which looks more like a giant salted fish to Pendragon, has become incredibly sturdy thanks to Berserker's magic!
Pendragon's pale palm pressed against the rough stone surface, and then his psychic power exploded in the air and blasted onto it without reservation!
"boom!!!"
The loud explosion nearly ripped Rin Tohsaka and her friend's delicate eardrums apart.
The air vibrated, and a violent airflow spread out, almost creating a vacuum at the center of the battle!
The land was easily torn apart, and the dust-laden wind forced Rin Tohsaka and Artoria to shield their eyes with their arms before they could observe the scene before them through the gaps.
Berserker's massive body was blasted away by the explosion, flying dozens of meters off the ground before tumbling back down, creating a shockwave.
Pendragon was also stuck in place due to the powerful reaction force generated by Berserker's resistance, making the already deep pit even deeper.
Seemingly embarrassed by being knocked away, Berserker became even more ferocious and enraged!
The steel-like muscles swelled even larger, and Berserker's body looked as if its joints were rusting and becoming clumsy, but Pendragon could sense that the power contained within that body had become even stronger!
"Roar!"
Its massive, rock-like teeth clenched tightly, and the air squeezed from its iron lungs, through the frenzied vibration of its vocal cords, actually formed visible air waves in front of it!
Pendragon didn't wait for it to unleash its speed to charge at it, but instead took the initiative to meet it head-on, swinging its sword against the roar of Berserker.
After all, we're all Berserkers, so going head-to-head is the way to go.
